Custom Parameters
This plugin outputs four custom tracking parameters for use. They are as follows:
VTS_Heartrate_Linear: A value that scales from 0.0 to 1.0 as your heartrate moves across the expected range.VTS_Heartrate_Pulse: A value that oscillates between 0.0 and 1.0 with a frequency exactly matching your heartrate.VTS_Heartrate_Breath: A value that oscillates between 0.0 and 1.0 with a frequency slower than Pulse, suitable for controlling your model's ParamBreath output.VTS_Heartrate_BPM: A value that represents the actual current heartrate in BPM.
Install instructions
This is a plugin for VTube Studio, so naturally it requires an installation of VTube Studio, which is available for free on Steam.
Simply unzip the folder and run the bundled .exe file to launch the plugin, no installation required.
The plugin will request network permission so as to be able to connect with VTube Studio, and optionally connect with pulsoid.net.
